Notes
The Antibody Pair can be used to quantify Human Nectin-4. BSA and Azide free antibody pairs include unconjugated capture and detector antibodies suitable for sandwich ELISAs. The antibodies are provided at an approximate concentration of 1 mg/ml as measured by the protein A280 method. The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Both capture and detector antibodies are rabbit monoclonal antibodies delivering consistent, specific, and sensitive results.
For additional information on the performance of the antibody pair, see the equivalent SimpleStep ELISA® Kit (Human Nectin-4 ELISA Kit ab264607), which uses the same antibodies. However, due to differences in their formulation, this antibody pair cannot be used with the consumables provided with our SimpleStep ELISA Kits. Please note that the range provided for the pairs is only an estimation based on the performance of the related product using the same antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody pair in your assay.
Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.
Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with <1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.
The pair can be used in variety of assays and platforms including but not limited to:
- Sandwich ELISA
- FRET/TR-FRET/HTRF
- Meso Scale Discovery® (MSD®)
- Bead-based assays
- AlphaLISA®/AlphaScreen®
- DELFIA® immunoassays
- Simoa® and Single Molecule Counting (SMC™) immunoassays
- Multiplex
Our antibody pairs are supplied in a carrier-free format that is conjugation-ready:
- Buffer free of BSA, sodium azide, and glycerol for higher conjugation efficiency.
- Concentration of ~1 mg/ml as measured by the protein A280 method.
We can label antibodies for you: get in touch today to discuss how we can help accelerate your assay development with custom conjugation services.
Pairs are screened in biological samples, including plasma and serum, to ensure specificity in complex samples.
Please note:
The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization in sandwich ELISA. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type.
The range provided for this antibody pair is based on initial sandwich ELISA validation data using recombinant protein. Performance and range of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay, including standard protein selection.
We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibodies in other assays.

- Activity summary
Nectin-4 also known as PVRL4 is a member of the immunoglobulin-like adhesion molecule family. It has a molecular weight of approximately 66 kDa. Nectin-4 plays an important role in cell-cell adhesion by forming trans-dimers promoting cellular cohesion. It is expressed in tissues such as placenta embryonic tissues and several epithelial cancers indicating its potential involvement in developmental processes and pathological conditions. When utilizing methods such as 'nectin-4 ELISA' and 'nectin-4 IHC' researchers can study its expression extensively across different tissue samples.
- Biological function summary
Nectin-4 functions as an important adhesion molecule that contributes to the maintenance and organization of cell junctions. It is often part of larger adhesive complexes that include afadin which links nectin proteins to the actin cytoskeleton stabilizing cell structure. Besides its role in maintaining cell-cell adhesion nectin-4 is significant in processes like cellular polarization and migration. These properties make it an important target for understanding tissue development and integrity as well as cancer metastasis.
- Pathways
Nectin-4 belongs to the pathways regulating cell adhesion and the cytoskeletal organization. It is closely associated with the cadherin and integrin signaling pathways where it collaborates with other nectin family members and afadin to regulate these networks. These interactions impact cellular processes such as signal transduction and intercellular communication critical for tissue maintenance. Studies involving 'nectin expression' help further elucidate these pathway connections and their implications in healthy and diseased tissues.
- Associated diseases and disorders
Nectin-4 shows significant correlation with certain cancers such as breast and lung carcinoma. Its elevated expression in tumor tissues suggests a role in tumorigenesis and cancer progression. The protein's interaction with oncogenes like HER2 indicates a possible pathway by which nectin-4 affects cancer cell proliferation and survival. Understanding 'nectin-4 expression' in the context of these diseases aids in identifying potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for cancer diagnosis and treatment.
